This is amazing how often this comes up, the search tool will bring up countless threads on this topic on Axiom speakers being bright, NOT.
Back in the day, being bright was a good thing as it meant your speakers were true to the original source. If you have cd's that were recorded with crappy recording techniques, those flaws will be brought out with Axioms. This is not the fault of Axiom design, which is neutral not bright.
High quality recordings will make you cry they sound so good, your jaw will hit the floor.
For me I want to hear the music as it was intended. If you want to hide what your listening to then get a laid back or muffled speakers.
